President of Uzbekistan Shovkat Mirziyayev has signed a law allowing the dismissal of unvaccinated people.

Axar.az reports that according to the law, the chief sanitary doctor of Uzbekistan can apply compulsory prophylactic vaccination to the population when there is a threat of the spread of quarantine and other infectious diseases that are dangerous to humans.

If an employee refuses to be vaccinated without contraindications, the employer has the right to prevent him from working.

It should be noted that since July, mandatory vaccination has been introduced for Uzbek civil servants, doctors, teachers, employees of transport companies and retail outlets.
